現代語訳
お寝所もお替えになって、お側には女中は置かれず、侍ばかりをお召し使いになり、新参者はいないということで、小人や中間に至るまで米沢の者をお召し使いになりました。本庄の御屋敷も二階建てで、事が急になった時は二階から隣の屋敷へ飛び移れるように、何かと御用心されているということです。もっとも弾正殿からも外聞や密偵などを使って様子をお聞きになりましたが、浪人たちは散々な状態でおりますので、全く動きを見せないため、御用心も怠りがちに聞こえます。弾正殿からも御家来を多くお差し添えになったということです。
一、泉岳寺の覚書の写し
一、今朝五時頃、何事かは分からないが大勢が手に槍を持って、手負いを肩に担ぎ、寺中に走り込み、激しく騒動いたしました。まず門を固く閉めました。
英語訳
He also changed his sleeping quarters, and did not keep female attendants by his side, employing only samurai retainers. There were no newcomers, and even the servants and attendants down to the lowest ranks were all from Yonezawa. Lord Honjō's residence was also built with two stories, so that in case of emergency, one could jump from the second floor to neighboring residences - he was cautious in various ways. Lord Danjō also inquired about the situation through public rumors and spies, but since the rōnin were in a wretched state and showed no signs of activity at all, vigilance seemed to be growing lax. Lord Danjō also assigned many of his retainers to assist.

One, this morning around 5 o'clock, for reasons unknown, a large group carrying spears in their hands, with wounded men on their shoulders, rushed into the temple grounds, causing a tremendous commotion. First, we secured the gate firmly.
